Home of the Orioles Short Season, Single-A affiliate Aberdeen IronBirds, Ripken Stadium opened to rave reviews in 2002 and is one of two teams in the history of Baseball to sell out every home game in franchise history. With a capacity of 6,300, the design (along with continuing renovations and upgrades) was designed to complement the unique sales philosophies of Ripken Baseball and the Aberdeen IronBirds.
